Jamie Foxx Shares Touching Moment With Father Of Man He Saved In Car Rescue

The actor sprung into action to save a man from a burning car.

Jamie Foxx doesn’t look at himself as a hero, but many others do after hearing about how the actor sprung into action to save a man from a burning car.

Foxx saved Brett Kyle‘s life on Monday evening, HuffPo reports. Kyle crashed his 2007 Toyota Tacoma around 8:30 p.m. in front of the actor’s home in Hidden Valley, California. The 32-year-old was unconscious when Foxx and another man – who hasn’t been identified – sprung into action to remove Kyle from the burning vehicle.

The two broke the car window using EMT scissors, cut the seat belt and pulled Kyle out to safety. “I grabbed the scissors from him, cut the seatbelt,” Foxx said. “As we pulled him out, within five seconds later, the truck goes up (in flames).”

Kyle was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for burns, a broken collarbone, and a punctured lung. The man’s father, Brad Kyle, met with Foxx on Tuesday to thank him for his efforts.
